By Baum, Lyman Frank

Excerpt
Excerpt: About American Fairy Tales. Since its publication in September 1900, L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has become America's greatest and best loved homegrown fairytale. The first totally American fantasy for children, it is one of the most-read children's books. It has also engendered a long series of sequels, stage plays and musicals, movies and television shows, biographies of Baum, scholarly studies of the significance of the book and film, advertisements, and toys, games, and other Oz-related products.
